Nelson, Kristofferson and Haggard Resurrect the Highwaymen at Grammys

"One of the best parts of my life has been the guys who are my real heroes are my closest friends," Kris Kristofferson told the AP before the Grammys. Kristofferson joined his buddies Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard and young(er) chart-topper Blake Shelton onstage for a medley including "Highwayman," the signature song from the Highwaymen (the supergroup featuring Nelson, Kristofferson, the late Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash), Nelson’s "Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and Haggard’s 1969 hit "Okie from Muskogee."
